DIY Dollhouse Week 3

Week 3 was the building of the third room which is a very very pink bedroom.

In this room there is a lot of sewing to be done. Or if you are like me and can’t sew to save yourself then Fabri-tac is for you!

I made these cushions by cutting the pattern, placing a line of glue on the three open sides, add the stuffing and then fold and press to seal the sides. The trim is then glued one side at a time. One tip – you might want to reduce the pattern size if you do it this way. I didnt, and because there is no hem area the cushions have come out a bit bigger than they would have been if they were sewn.

Here is all the items you need to make for the bedroom.

As I said this is one pink room, and that bed is very over the top.

I dont think any of the items gave me much grief. It was a pretty easy room, especially as you have already done some of the items like the slippers and plant. I mentioned before that the felt was very hard to glue. But I tried my Fabri-tac out on it, and it made it so much easier to glue. So I definitely recommend a fabric glue on the felt.

And here is the room all completed and glued down. I have cheated and stolen a painting from the next room, so there is now two paintings in this room which I will further explain in the next post.

I did end up putting a bit of paint on the plant pot to get rid of the white, just like the brown planter and watering can from the conservatory.

I have to share this picture. My Mr4 loves this house, he seems to think its his job to place each item once they have all been finished. And the tongue always sticks out as he concentrates on placing the tiny wee objects. So cute!

That’s all for now, until next time – happy crafting.
